Unable to Access ARev (AREV Specific)

Running v1.10 VLM on a 4.11 server. Win3.11 Novell 32-Bit Clients work fine. When we attempt to access ARev from Win95, we get the logon banner and are then immediately kicked back out to the Desktop. Any ideas?

If your PIF file is set to close on exit, turn that feature off so that the DOS window will stay on the screen. This way, you might be better able to determine what error message if any is thrown.
Verify that your workstations can talk to ALL Novell servers that they map to. I've found (and seen it discussed here) that if I map to a Novell server, but it goes down, then I can't login to my Arev application even though it resides on another server.

You'll need a pif to run AREV that specifies 575 kB+ of conventional memory, 4096 kB of expanded, and ensure your comspec= is set. Also, use a batch file to load AREV.exe and put /XM4096 on the command line. Place a pause after AREV in the batch file to trap any errors.
Hope this helps,

FWIW the 16-bit Novell clients are fine with Windows 3.11 - I've never used the 32 bit clients in this context.
I hope you're using the NLM and not the VLM (as suggested) on the network

575Kb of conventional RAM? I've never been able to get that much on a 16 bit system that was networked. I think 400K is a bit more reasonable.

We run under Arev 3.12 on Novell 3.X. We have the same type of thing happen to us. It's always on an individual user bases (almost always a new user). For us it means that the particular user is not part of the Novell group that has access to that particular Arev application. So by just adding the user to the proper group fixes our problem.

575 kB we get easily with both REVG and AREV systems, under Novell 4.11, Win 3.11, DOS 6.22. Under Win 95 its more like 609 kB.
Using QEMM you can easily exceed this.

That explains it. For reasons I can't remember, we were forbidden from using QEMM. Maybe forbidden is too strong a word. Unsupported may be closer.

Under OS/2 we used to get something like 670 to 680K.
